all this talk about cooking now makes me think about recipes that have been passed down in families. does anyone have any gems they want to share? here is mine, offered more in the spirit of humor than for anyone who wants to experiment, though it's a real recipe I grew up with. my theory is that it was invented during the Depression when people were hard up.
Spaghetti with Ketchup: boil spaghetti noodles as usual, then fry them in butter for about 5 minutes. then put in a bowl and mix with ketchup. apply parmesan cheese if desired. I can say 2 things about this dish: no one I ever described it to had ever heard of it, so it is a unique tradition, and it does taste better than it sounds, but let's say I haven't made it in years. anyone have any *good* recipes to share?
